Abstract This study introduces an innovative approach to strengthening defected reinforced concrete (RC) columns using externally bonded stainless steel and galvanized steel plates. Unlike conventional strengthening methods, this technique replaces traditional transverse stirrups with steel sheets, providing enhanced confinement and ductility.

Flexural performance of concrete‐filled steel tubular beams with wood chip aggregate
Abstract This study investigates the flexural performance of concrete‐filled steel tubular (CFST) beams with partial replacement of aggregates by wood chips (0%–25%) through experimental and numerical analysis. This study is novel in that it experimentally and numerically investigates the flexural behavior of CFST beams with partial replacement of ...

Seismic evaluation of the southbound Stellenberg Interchange Bridge, B5593, in South Africa
Abstract This study presents a nonlinear finite element assessment of the seismic vulnerability of Bridge B5593, located in the south‐western region of South Africa. Previous evaluations identified a high likelihood of column failure; however, these were based on linear material models incapable of capturing damage evolution.

ABSTRACT The fatigue and fracture behavior of self‐piercing rivet (SPR) joints between AA6016 aluminum sheets (1–2 mm) and DX54D steel (0.95 mm) was studied under 90°, 45°, and 0° multiaxial loading. Pure shear (90°) loading produced the highest fatigue strength, whereas multiaxial (45°) loading resulted in reduced performance, with pure tension (0 ...
